WHY ARE WE CALLED ELECTRIC KOZAK?

Its just a name. We wanted a logo of something that embodies the spirit of Ukraine and Ukrainianism since our company specializes in Ukrainian tours, programs, and exchanges. Sure there are national foods, national instruments…and of course, the legendary kozaks/cossacks from Ukraine’s golden age. So we took the more typical Ukrainian spelling, combined it something Flash-Gordonesque, and voila — Electric Kozak

We stuck with it after determining people are more likely to remember this than something like “Ukrainian Tour Company” or “Ukrainian Dance Seminar Logistics Group”.Though sometimes spelled “cossack” (Ukrainian: козаки́, koza'ky; Russian: казаки́, kaza’ki), it refers to a group of predominantly East Slavic-speaking people who became known as members of autonomous, semi-military communities, predominantly located in Ukraine (source: wikipedia).
